Nice looking truck. I noticed a handle on the glove box, did any of these come with those? That rear bumper looks out of place, and it's missing a cap on one wheel. They were asking for a $150 processing fee?

Um, yes as matter of fact, mine has a handle. Not the same, but it looks factory.

What trim PKG did you need to get to have the handle?
I just looked at the other handle and it looks really different.

I'm pretty sure this was part of the RPO BS4U Corvette engine-and-trim package...

I always worry about stuff that's only painted from the top; look at the engine - dirty, except for the valve cover and air cleaner. New paint hides old sins...

**WorkinLonghorn** · 04-21-2008, 03:15 AM

Takes more than an Earl Sheib paint job to make a 9K truck IMO.Actually the first photo showing the front bumper,it looks like they painted OVER some rust or crud.And whoopee!, they painted the valve cover too! Sorry,not impressed.

Ya, I was studying those pics too. Not as impressed as I would expect. If those guys get $9000 for a base model 250 engine (cause I sure don't see anything special on it), I should get at least $4000 more for all my options (insert sarcasm here)

Longhorn Man · 04-21-2008, 03:52 AM

the handles were not stock.
that dealer is high on drugs or something.

1968SWBBigBlock · 04-21-2008, 03:56 AM

What option package # for the bungee cord holding the battery in?

Dingfodgy · 04-21-2008, 04:14 AM

I'm with Longhorn....a little too much "wake-n-bake" if you ask me.

Long Stepper
Red
6/cylinder
Cheesy Paint Job
Low / No Options

Add it all up and it's a 3k-4k truck in my book.

jorgensensc · 04-21-2008, 04:13 AM

Wait, wait... it has the ultra rare cigar lighter delete plug!!! THat has to be super rare!! HA HA

Ok...I have a question: Is the paint on that truck really that bad or is it the camera that is making it look that bad? And should there be emblems on the fenders?

I think the paint sucks, because you can see the same dark spots on each panel regardless of angle. I think it's a very poor do-it-yourselfer spray job and they just didn't get enough color down. I think either primer spots or the previous color of the truck is bleeding through!

Longhorn Man · 04-21-2008, 04:37 AM

dingfodgy, you left out 3/4 ton too. it's a neat truck, but not the gold mine someone thinks it is.

Richard8971 · 04-21-2008, 05:29 AM

OMG... I can't believe someone actually put a bid on it. If you guys look closely at the body, it looks pretty rough, esp between the drivers door and front fender.

rwgregory · 04-21-2008, 10:10 AM

I can't really decide what part of this brush-painted "creampuff" I like best. Could it be the Tiajuana style velour seat cover? The left over Bondo can wheelcovers, or perhaps the JC Whitney sure-grip steering wheel cover. No, it has to be the dual chrome plated "Bubba-pipes" peeking out from under the step bumper. The clincher is that this is a stock 6-cyl. with a stock SINGLE PIPE exhaust manifold. Just what are those duals hooked up to? Hmmm.....

chip46wis · 04-21-2008, 11:46 AM

Anyone else notice the driver door -fender lineup?----the doors both look like they are 1 inch thick with bondo.There is rust all over behind the rear wheel picture and the dash is hand painted.The tail light lenses look original and junk,not to mention the $19.95 seat cover.
Looks like a $1000.00 truck TOPS!!!!!!!!!

Gray Ghost · 04-21-2008, 02:51 PM

First off...never buy a truck from anyone who has one of those stupid and most likely dangerous steering wheel covers on the wheel.

Second, the paint looks fresh alright...too bright and not a great job either.

What's up with that oil can hub cover on the back wheel and those weird wings on the bed rails?

Hey! Don't hate on the $29.99 seat cover purchased at Oreilly's! It got me through 3 months until I put my electric lumbar Bench seats from a 1995 C1500

**special-K** · 04-21-2008, 02:46 PM

Might not be a bad truck to get (way cheaper) and redo right.But,I wouldn`t count on that having much work done right under what we can see wasn`t done right.I think it`s a neat truck.

The glovebox door handle was available to those owners to dumb to figure out how to adjust the striker so the door would 'pop" when the button is pushed.

Love those hubcaps?They make stock lug nuts look beautiful.

Why would the guy put the wider wheels on the front?Someone is clueless.

Gotta believe that mileage,huh?

Looks like someone`s backyard resto pride`n`joy and everyone elses "Eh,it`s alright" that a bag`o`hot air dealer gpt ahold up and threw on Ebay."This is the most reliable ...".Really,how far and long have you been running it?
And,some guy is considering having it shiped to San Diego?Gotta loe that Ebay!

I hate putting down trucks,it`s not their fault.

**special-K** · 04-21-2008, 10:40 PM

Bad paint and there were emblems (like all trucks).

streetstar · 04-21-2008, 11:35 PM

WOW ! i love the silver to red paint lines on the inner to outer door area

I see it has the rare extra wide step bumper option too

jayharrell · 04-21-2008, 11:48 PM

Is that a license plate light on the dash cluster?? NOw that was done by someone who was high. Or at least someone not able to get high at night while driving.

Just wierd.
